The Calypso bulbosa orchid is the official flower of the Greater Lansing Orchid Society.

The purposes for which the Society is organized are:*to create an awareness of orchid culture*to foster the preservation of native species of orchids*to support research and development of orchid culture; and*to hold meetings, lectures, and exhibitions.

GLOS normally meets on the third Saturday during the months of January, March, May, July, September, and November. 7:00 pm is the meeting hour, but come early to see what plants are available for purchase from our speaker-of-the-day and from other Members, and/or to bring plants to sell at our silent auction and raffle tables.

Our May meeting is Saturday the 19th at the Presbyterian Church in Okemos. GLOS member Jim Heilig will talk about Habenaria orchids. For a map to the church and other information, please see our current newsletter, the Calypso, in the Newsletter section.
